MARTIN GOES TO EGYPT TO SEE RESULT OF ISRAELI BOMBS
A FATHER saw his seven-year-old daughter drown as they tried to make it across the English Channel to the UK in a boat yesterday.
Charity volunteer Dany Patoux, who works for the Osmose 62 refugee charity, witnessed the return of migrants, including the dead girl’s father, to the French coastline.
He said: “Her father fell into our arms right away. He was crying, in a daze. He saw his little daughter die before his eyes.”
The youngster, who is believed to have been partially sighted, was among the latest five people to die trying to reach the UK.
The doomed boat left the seaside village of Wimereux, 40km from Calais, at 5am, packed with 112 people.

Speaking in a joint news conference with his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo, Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said the killing of women and children is “unconscionable.” He mentioned an airstrike over the weekend on Gaza’s southern city of Rafah that killed 17 children and two women from the same extended family. “The women and children that are being killed. It’s unconscionable,” he said. “It’s very difficult for me personally as a human being to comprehend that level of barbarity, there can be no justification for it, in my view.” Minister Martin called for a cease-fire, the release of all hostages captured by Hamas in its October 7 attack that triggered the war, and flooding the strip with humanitarian aid. It’s “unacceptable that hostages are taken in this manner,” he said. “And again, we have consistently condemned the taking of hostages.”
Meanwhile, fanatical Hamas militants were still opening fire on Israeli civilians yesterday as troops prepared for a last bloody push into the stricken southern city of Rafah.

The United Nations’ human rights chief yesterday said he was ‘horrified’ after mass graves were uncovered at sites in Gaza.
Disgust
Volker Turk expressed his disgust following the discoveries in the aftermath of Israel’s military raids on the Nasser and Al Shifa medical facilities.
The newly uncovered mass graves are said to contain hundreds of bodies in total.
Palestinian authorities first reported finding corpses in a mass grave at the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis this week after it was abandoned by Israeli troops.
Bodies were also then reported at the Al Shifa site in Gaza City following an Israeli special forces operation.
